The future of that unincorporated area has been a topic for the councils of both cities, on Mutton Hollow Road.

Originally IHC petitioned to annex some property to Kaysville and some to Layton, Mr. Carter ly explained. The Kaysville council and city manager John Thacker met with their Layton counterparts recently (See story from Kaysville Council meeting, also this issue). and determined that (about 19 to acres) should be annexed ' Layton. Scott Carter, Laytons community development director, tried to shed some light on Laytons understanding of the issue although he admitted its a very complex That decision was based on belief Layton could better service the area because of existing services matter. There has been confusion among some residents as to which city might annex what and what type of development would be allowed. and land configuration. The Layton Council opted for more input from residents and before taking any action, Mr. ter said. Richards, member of the advisory council for vocational education. Mr. Richards was speaking to the board of education at their April 14 meeting. He expressed his belief and that of most teachers, students and parents that without a strong summer program, g classes and Futhe county ture Farmers of America program will suffer and possibly be eliminated. He presented the board members with letters signed by the presg ident of the Utah Teachers Association and the chairmen of the State House and Senate education committees affirming their belief in a summer agriculture program. The letters also request that Davis District find funding for these programs which are available in all county high schools except : vo-a- g vo-a- Vo-A- Bountiful High.

By TOM BUSSELBERG vo-a- vo-a- 6,000-10,00- 0 vo-a- A public hearKAYSVILLE ing to consider annexation of Mutton Hollow has been set for May 12, at 7 p.m. The Kaysville City Council will hear comments about annexation of two parcels totaling 550 acres. The Layton City Council, meanwhile, has set its own public hearing for annexation of 19 acres in the northwest quadrant of Mutton Hollow, owned by Intermountain Healthcare, developers there have asked to join Layton. s More than of 138 property owners in the 430 acre s portion east of Fairfield and of owners of the 120 acres four-fifth- three-fifth- west of Fairfield want Kaysville to take affirmative action. That word comes from Lee Cammack, city engineer. Everett Watts, 128 E. Mutton Hollow Road, expressed concern at the Layton annexation plans. He was assurred by Council-woma- n Carol Page I dont think that (Layton action on 19 acres) will affect the rest of Mutton Hollow. Mayor Gerald Purdy said, I personally wouldnt feel good ab- out protesting any Layton action on the 19 acres. City Administrator John Thacker said further the city (Kaysville) could protest but we have said we wouldnt because they (developers) want the move into Layton. The developers own the entire 19 acres so no other property owners are involved in that proposal. Kaysville officials are concerned about coordinating roads and utility services with the 19 acre section should it become part of Layton. It would split that part of Fairfield between the two cities. We have met with Scott Carter (Layton Planning Director) and the property developers and agreed those arrangements, Mr. Thacker told the council. Developers said they would provide revised plans to Kaysville officials but those hadnt been received when the council met Tuesday. The portion that could see Layton annexation is part of a development proposal. Mutton Hollow has been serviced by the county for road upkeep and snow removal with a separate water and sewer system maintained by residents. Many e property owners have at least wed mutually work out 19-ac- re 120-ac- re one-acr- parcels. Previous attempts at allowing smaller lot sizes have met stiff opposition from residents making feelings known at county planning commission meetings. Most residents have indicated preference for Kaysville possibly because of postal, school and church ties. In addition, some have noted Laytons allowing of smaller lot sizes (6,000 square foot minimum) vs. Kaysvilles 8,000 square foot lowest size to their disliking. Septic tanks After listening to several citizens complain abLAYTON out the costs of a proposed sanitary sewer line along U.S. Highway 89, the Layton City council has approved to allow continued septic tank use by current residents and okayed their installation in a new subdivision. The problem surfaced when Mr. Harrison sought approval to build an 18 lot subdivision on 7'2 acres in the Highway 89 Valley View Drive area. The city normally requires connections to a sewer line for all new subdivisions. Mr. Harrisons development is somewhat different, it was noted. To connect to North Davis Sewer, pipe would have to be laid across property belonging to 19 different people. Many of e residents have sewer connections on Valley these View Drive. The remaining property owners have sound septic tank systems. The new sewer line would cost $45,000 with the developer agreeing to pay $21,000. This leaves the remaining cost to be absorbed by only 19 people. It would cost each individual in excess of $2,100 for the service. Royal Sessions, spokesman for the property owners, said many are retired and on fixed incomes. This amount for a service they dont necessarily feel they need or want would be a hardship, he said. Van Henniger, another area resident said he was happy with a sepfic tank and didnt feel it was the residents' responsibility to extend a line to a new developer. The council, too, felt the price of a sewer system was too high forjust a few people to assume. They voted to have the city staff work with the developer to move his project toward septic tanks unless an acceptable and reasonably priced sewer system could be worked out. long-tim- Vi Travis K.
